Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 28, 1988, TRANSCAL staff made a presentation to the staff of LACTC on preliminary baseline alignment alternatives for the El Segundo line from Douglas Station across the Rosecrans/Aviation intersection to the Hawthorne Yard. The alternatives analysis addressed two significant problems: how best to cross Rosecrans/Aviation, and how best to enter the yard. (See the attached meeting minutes for further detail.). All viable alignment options for both of these problem areas entail certain negative characteristics and associated sacrifices. Accordingly, LACTC directed TRANSCAL to study the feasibility of another option, namely, an alternative alignment that bypasses the Rosecrans/Aviation intersection and enters the yard from the west, via Douglas St, Redondo, and 33rd Street. The study was to determine the conceptual feasibility of this alternative alignment, taking into account cost, schedule, and environmental consequences. This technical memorandum reports the results of the study.The technology assumed is that of the baseline (LB-LA) system; the effects of the decision regarding third rail and ATC are not addressed in this report.

Download or read book Railtown written by Ethan N. Elkind and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2014-01-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The familiar image of Los Angeles as a metropolis built for the automobile is crumbling. Traffic, air pollution, and sprawl motivated citizens to support urban rail as an alternative to driving, and the city has started to reinvent itself by developing compact neighborhoods adjacent to transit. As a result of pressure from local leaders, particularly with the election of Tom Bradley as mayor in 1973, the Los Angeles Metro Rail gradually took shape in the consummate car city. Railtown presents the history of this system by drawing on archival documents, contemporary news accounts, and interviews with many of the key players to provide critical behind-the-scenes accounts of the people and forces that shaped the system. Ethan Elkind brings this important story to life by showing how ambitious local leaders zealously advocated for rail transit and ultimately persuaded an ambivalent electorate and federal leaders to support their vision. Although Metro Rail is growing in ridership and political importance, with expansions in the pipeline, Elkind argues that local leaders will need to reform the rail planning and implementation process to avoid repeating past mistakes and to ensure that Metro Rail supports a burgeoning demand for transit-oriented neighborhoods in Los Angeles. This engaging history of Metro Rail provides lessons for how the American car-dominated cities of today can reinvent themselves as thriving railtowns of tomorrow.
